software-baas-platforms

software-baas-platforms is a skill for Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 37 tokens per session (3,544 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to choosing managed backend platforms such as Supabase, Convex, Firebase, and Appwrite. These services can provide databases, authentication, storage, realtime updates, and server-side functions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when selecting a backend platform, comparing SQL and NoSQL options, evaluating realtime or offline support, or planning self-hosting and migration.
Why use it?
It helps compare the trade-offs of using a hosted backend bundle instead of building and operating each part separately.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

software-baas-platforms scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Managed App Backends

Use this skill to choose between managed app-backend platforms when the real decision is not just "which database," but which product backend bundle should own auth, data, realtime, storage, server-side functions, and early operational tradeoffs.

This skill covers:

  • SQL-first and NoSQL-first managed backend platform choice
  • auth, permissions, and data-ownership model tradeoffs
  • realtime sync and offline behavior differences
  • self-hosted versus hosted operational tradeoffs
  • migration and exit paths when a platform stops fitting

Quick Reference

Need Default path Notes
Postgres-first product backend with RLS, auth, storage, and realtime Supabase Best fit when SQL portability and browser-safe Postgres workflows matter
TypeScript-first reactive backend with durable workflows Convex Best fit when live subscriptions and function-centric app logic matter more than SQL
Mobile/offline-first app with mature client SDKs Firebase / Firestore Strong default when device sync and mobile SDK ergonomics dominate
Self-hosted full backend bundle with auth, DB, storage, and functions Appwrite Good fit when self-hosting is a first-order requirement
Small single-binary app backend or internal tool PocketBase Good fit for prototypes and lightweight deployments, not the default for high-criticality systems; still pre-1.0 — verify current version and breaking-change posture before betting production on it
Pure Postgres host without a bundled auth/storage/realtime layer Neon or PlanetScale Postgres Use when you want serverless Postgres (branching, scale-to-zero) but plan to build auth/storage/realtime yourself or already own them elsewhere; not a like-for-like Supabase substitute
Complex compliance, bespoke domain logic, or multi-service boundaries ../software-backend/SKILL.md + ../software-database-design/SKILL.md Use custom services when you need stronger control than a BaaS can provide
Picking the compute host (Vercel, Fly.io, Railway, Render, Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy) ../software-paas-hosting/SKILL.md Sibling skill for the compute layer; this skill is data/auth-layer only

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
